"A portrait of my child, once a week, every week, in 2013."

You can't catch a break, can you?  As soon as you conquer one illness, another one strikes.  It's the worst thing in the world watching your babies being sick, especially when there's not much you can do to prevent it during one of the worst flu seasons we've had.  You've always been more of a papa's girl, but lately all you've wanted was to be in my arms.  I let you help me make blueberry pancakes, fresh whipped cream and bacon, you stood on a chair next to me listening as I explained the steps to you.  We took a shower and you quickly fell asleep in my arms, curled up exactly as you did when you were teeny-tiny.

  14. I know this so well! We're on day seven of fever, two days ago tonsillitis and just back from the dr now with a diagnosis of an ear infection. Of course my girl is doing the same as yours is in this picture. Sleep is the best medicine. Wishing yours a speedy recovery.

  20. oh gosh, Kate, this is just so sweet. I hate it so when my boys are sick, but I do find it so endearing that they just want me, cuddling and crawling into laps and our bed; I find I slow down too for more reading time, and more snuggles. hope that she feels better soon and that spring ushers in loads of loveliness and shoos away the winter season of colds & yuck. xo

bump : week 23

The sub-zero weather has kept us indoors, but it hasn't kept us from having the most amount of fun possible.  I've been enjoying hot cups of tea served with teaspoons of sugar and condensed milk, curling up with my favorite blanket and enjoying the tap-tap, nudge-nudge of the littlest De La Rosa.  Though I find myself playing catch up yet again (I'm 24 weeks!) I'm not complaining in the least bit.  I've had this little family of mine all to myself for a full four days with no work, no emails, no agenda and no pressure.   Ahhhhh... happy winter celebration, little baby. PS- did you know Erick finally launched his website ?  It's up, it's responsive, and it's gorgeous. I'm a proud muma bear.
